Misc Unsigned Bands-Victry - Match In A Gas Tank chords

Show chord diagrams

This a song I wrote in 2009. The chord progressions are incredibly simple to
play, but the lyrical structure is complex, so I went through the whole song to
show you as best I could how the chords fall in with the words. Each line of the
verses has a bass-line that climbs up to the first chord of the line. So for the
first two lines of every verse the bass line is {g a b c} and on the last two
lines it is {CDEF}. Enjoy.
CGC
Well theres been something thats been bugging me for some time
CGC
It is a trouble from which I can never hide
FCGC
Its all them greedy men in tailored suits who dominate the world
FGC
And build the laboratory mazes for mankind
CGC
This house of cards will surely topple over someday
CGC
Just as Im sure all of the fat cats are aware
FCGC
So keep society sedated let them atrophy their minds
FGC
And in the end there will be no one left to care
CG
So go on home, walk swiftly through the bright-lit patches
FCG
The night closes faster than your eyes can catch it
CGF
The lies will be revealed in the end like a magic show
CG
Ill say I told you so
CG
Well I dont know, but Ive been told
FGC
Youre born to die and not to grow old
CGC
And maybe later I will start a revolution
CGC
You know Ill give them everything that I have got
FCGC
And then I know you all will thank me but Im not sure I have the time
FGC
Im too damned busy smoking booze and drinking pot
CGC
How can I satisfy my messianic complex?
CGC
How can I save you from the evils I cant name?
FCGC
Im not really anybody special but I wish so much I was
FGC
This world is rigged but Im still dying to play the game
CG
Well the race is on, push forward through the swarming masses
FCG
Forward to the furnace where well turn to ashes
CGF
And spread across the land to make the flowers and the grasses grow
CG
I think, no, no, no I hope its so
CG
Well I dont know, but Ive been told
FGC
Youre born to die and not to grow old
CGC
And in the morning she will rise and say she loves me
CGC
The fact that she aint real dont matter to me much
FCGC
I might be sorry come tomorrow but tonight Im just a man
FGC
And goddamn! She looks like shed be heavenly to touch
CGC
And in the evening as the light is slowly fading
CGC
And as the hawks make lazy circles in the sky
FCGC
And as the fireflies start dancing and the forests come alive
FGC
Ill say now what a pretty place for me to die
{bass line: FED}
CFG
If time is just a fiction, and life is but a dream
CFG
Then pay no heed to scriptures as they flash across your screen
CFG
Were all as lost as pebbles that are cast into a stream
CFGC
And you cant trust your eyeballs because nothings what it seems
{see below}
And there was Grandma, swingin from the outhouse door
Without her nightie, Grandpa singin more, more, more
CGC
Match in a gas tank, boom boom!
